ABSTRACT Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic replication and constant primary infection of fresh cells are crucial for viral tumorigenicity. The virus-encoded bZIP family protein K8 plays an important role in viral DNA replication in both viral reactivation and de novo infection. The mechanism underlying the functional role of K8 in the viral life cycle is elusive. Here, we report that K8 is an RNA binding protein that also associates with many other proteins, including other RNA binding proteins. Many protein-protein interactions involving K8 are mediated by RNA. Using a UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) procedure combined with high-throughput sequencing, RNAs that are associated with K8 in BCBL-1 cells were identified, including both viral (PAN, T1.4, T0.7, etc.) and cellular (MALAT-1, MRP, 7SK, etc.) RNAs. An RNA binding motif in K8 was defined, and mutation of the motif abolished the ability of K8 to bind to many noncoding RNAs, as well as viral DNA replication during de novo infection, suggesting that the K8 functions in viral replication are carried out through RNA association. The functions of K8 and associated T1.4 RNA were investigated in detail, and the results showed that T1.4 mediates the binding of K8 to ori-Lyt DNA. The T1.4-K8 complex physically bound to KSHV ori-Lyt DNA and recruited other proteins and cofactors to assemble a replication complex. Depletion of T1.4 abolished DNA replication in primary infection. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the role of K8 in coordination with T1.4 RNA in regulating KSHV DNA replication during de novo infection. IMPORTANCE Genomewide analyses of the mammalian transcriptome revealed that a large proportion of sequence previously annotated as noncoding regions is actually transcribed and gives rise to stable RNAs. The emergence of a large number of noncoding RNAs suggests that functional RNA-protein complexes, e.g., ribosomes or spliceosomes, are not ancient relics of the last ribo-organism but would be well adapted to a regulatory role in biology. K8 has been puzzling because of its unique characteristics, such as multiple regulatory roles in gene expression and DNA replication without DNA binding capability. This study reveals the mechanism underlying its regulatory role by demonstrating that K8 is an RNA binding protein that binds to DNA and initiates DNA replication in coordination with a noncoding RNA. It is suggested that many K8 functions, if not all, are carried out through its associated RNAs.
